At 1:16, they had a report that Tippit was shot. But they only mentioned Oswald as being in the Texas Theater at 1:44. I thought that when witnesses arrived at the scene of the Tippit shooting, they were very soon told by a shop owner fronting on the Tippit murder scene that LHO was walking toward the Texas Theater.
The Texas Theater was not that far from the Tippit shooting. Why would there be a 28 minute interval between the shooting of Tippit and the police finding Oswald at the Theater?
Also, Tippit was contacted by the dispatcher at 12.47. But he was shot at 1:16. Was Tippit just sitting still in his car at the same place at Oak Cliff for 29 minutes? Or was Tippit driving around Oak Cliff for the 29 minutes?
Why would Tippit (if he was) just sitting still for 29 minutes? And what were the other police doing for the fairly long interval between 12:47 and 1:16 when Tippit was shot? If there was reason for Tippit to either be stationary or driving around Oak Cliff at this time, why weren't other squad cars engaged in the same pattern of activity as was Tippit?
One could argue that the plotters thought Oswald would arrive at 10th and Patton and kill Tippit at or near 12:47. The fact that it took another 29 minutes to kill Tippit would mean that LHO was not proceeding directly to the Tippit scene OR to the Texas Theater, but maybe LHO spent that time trying various avenues of escape. The house that is mentioned for no reason may have been a safe house for Cubans. Maybe during this interval, Oswald tried to go to a safe house.
Probably, Oswald had been assured by the plotters that if he met somebody at a certain place between the TSBD and the Tippit shooting, he would be aided in an escape. He probably got there and nobody was there or the door was locked, etc.
LHO probably then went from this safe house or meeting place and then to the Texas Theater and never went near the Tippit shooting. Of course, we think he went to his rooming house to pick up his gun. But the rooming house was on the route to the Tippit murder, so that wouldn't have taken 29 minutes. How long was he at the rooming house?
I have always believed that going to the Texas Theater was a strategy invented by Oswald himself, where there were witnesses who could see if the police tried to shoot him in cold blood.
That strategy worked (at least for the short term).
